You know, this is an interesting question. A single currency for middle earth? The eriado, perhaps? Was there a gold standard, do we think?
I'm at a bit of a loss when it comes to getting a grip on Middle Earth economics. Inter-regional trading seems to be done by only by dwarves, and to a very limited extent by Mirkwood elves. I can only assume that most cultures were self-sufficient when it comes to food/clothes etc.
